Hi, Lacey.

I did't read your old thread.

May I ask - what type of eating disorder do you have? Is it bulimia?

I suffered from binge-eating (didn't purge).

Though an eating disorder shares common features with other substance addictions, it's a different animal entirely.

One of the major issues I see with eating disorders is that they are still rarely taken seriously (unless it's a life-threatening condition like severe anorexia).

And it makes the entire process of battling it exponentially harder.

Sometimes it feels like hope is lost and it's easier to give up.

Don't give up though, Lacey.

And, if you don't mind me asking - why do you want to lose weight? Will it make you feel better? Look better? Is it a health concern?
